Located in the northeast of Mallorca, between the Son Real nature reserve, Playa de Muro and the Albufera, Can Picafort is a place whose history has always been linked to the sea. Ever since it was first founded as a small fishing village, the town has been able to grow and evolve without losing sight of its origins.
Nowadays, Can Picafort is one of the most popular towns on the island for a summer break, while also remaining a destination that enjoys the most authentic Mediterranean way of life. This is a town that has it all: from long sandy beaches and crystal-clear waters to small rocky coves and nature trails, from lively squares to a fantastic seafront promenade that is always brimming with life. An ideal destination for just relaxing with your partner, having fun with the kids, or exploring the rich biodiversity and archaeological heritage of Mallorca.
